Chelsea dumped sand on pitch to await Barcelona

tarcki SG

True, but if chelsea hope to gain respect they shall stop doin this kind of thing. Not keep complaining abt why so much ppl dislike chelsea. Lets just hope the dumping of sand is not true, really wish to see a fair game between barce n chelsea. Very Happy

i hope so too and if u had notice chelsea player are mostly 1.8m tall and barcelona had quite a few players shorter than 1.8m and i think jose going to play long ball tatics using ballack and lampard to distrubute balls to drogba and sheva using thier height to dominate the air and hopefully head in some goals during set pieces and corners

Well, your assessment is quite true, i think many people will also think that way too as chelsea have used this style of play in europe the last 1 or 2 yrs already knowing that quite a number of europe teams are not very comfortable in the air and the long ball to Drogba works...

Therefore, having a smooth ground would not be to their advantage especially with a team like Barcelona...

But whatever reasons given, its not a decent thing to do in my opinion and it would only hurt chelsea's reputation further in europe...

what if they are really giving the pitch a new facelift ? this means that the newspapers are bias against chelsea and assume that chelsea do all the "BAD" things and chelsea do play mix football of air and ground.

and beside u notice that cech usually pass the ball to defenders instead of kicking the ball upfield to the midfielders and strikers as they are assured possession by passing the ball to the defenders.

unless they are down by 1-0 and not much time left then they pump the ball from keeper/defenders.

If that is their intention then they should just replace the grass altogether... Many Epl clubs re-do their field by replacing the whole pitch... that is cutting up the grass area in square pcs and replace brand new ones over it through out the whole field... wouldn't it be better this way rather than pouring sand over their pitch?

let's just say, with the internationals, they had 2 weeks.. Laughing

so early in the season already dump sand....i dun think the field is in a disarray....secondly, so coincidental, play barce again. just barce's bad luck.

i thnk tt scared-2-lose manager must hv given the blues maintainence guys a big one for not dumping enuf sand last season. this season, they will make sure barce kick sands....

Conclusion : Let The Pitch Speak for itself

I don't know much about destorying nor renewing the field anyway so the pitch will speak for itself

Chelsea dumping sand on to their pitch???? whats new man? maybe they should construct a wall along the goal line to make things easiler... or try making their goal post smaller and claim that rain shrink their goal post better Laughing
